beware of no mufflers. i thought that would be cool on my 82 had headers going through a fake cat and nothing else. you get tired of yelling at your passanger when going 25 mph real quick. everything else sounds cool though!

Get with pureinsanity, he can refer you to a web site that shows you how to get 50 hp from a coffee can.....roughly guesstamating, about 275 to 300 high ball park figure (gross hp, not net). What's the compression ratio, type intake (Performer, Stealth), carb, type heads, valve size, etc.

Aww man, now you got ?s I haven't thought of yet. The motor is stock now so the compression is whatever a crate motor pumps out. The carb is q-jet m4me (tuned up), stock heads (will be ported). The intake is the edelbrock performer.

You have a pair of those header/manifolds? I checked the part number, and I believe they were way over $200 a piece.
ouch! : ) I wouldn't waste time porting your heads...get some Vortecs or better...you need to have all the machine work done to your heads, it will be as cheap or cheaper to get brand new Vortecs, and more productive.

IMO save your money on the distributor and ign. box, total waste of time on a non high RPM motor.

Neighbors '88 350 has just a cat..I think it sounds good too..but its a pickup, the blazer may be louder because of the cab...
